**How did you first get started in the world of influencing?**
I started organically by posting workouts that I was doing during and after COVID. People began to ask for some of the workouts and started telling me I inspired them with my fitness journey, and it just kind of happened from there, naturally. Then I expanded out with other things.
**What motivates you to create content and engage with your audience?**
Inspiring others is what motivates me, hands down! It makes me happy to help others, entertain them, and support them on their journey in life—whether it’s fitness, healthy living, shopping, eating, or just being happy within themselves.
**How do you define success as an influencer?**
I think it varies for everyone, but my definition of success is having people reach out to me and say, “You inspired me to work out,” “You inspired me to do something that I have never done before and just go for it,” or “You inspired me to let go of that negative energy in my life.” When people tell me things like that, that I have positively helped them, I feel like I have succeeded.
